The breakwater acquisition, Perimeter's seventh in two years, adds new expertise and brand awareness as well as a strong customer base in California and the Pacific Northwest, Perimeter said. Perimeter makes its home in Milford, Conn.; Breakwater is in Seattle.

"The acquisition of Breakwater Security extends our national reach and provides us with a strong base of business to expand on along the West Coast," said Brad Miller, Perimeter's chief executive officer, in a prepared statement. "Breakwater is the leading security services provider in the Pacific Northwest, and we are thrilled to have inherited their strong brand identity and reputation."

Perimeter offers more than 50 managed security packages through VARs, either on-site, through customer premises equipment or via "Security in the Clouds," a hosted solution that allows customers to enjoy the service on a subscription basis without the full investment in infrastructure and hardware. The MSP delivers its services from three NOC (Network Operation Centers) and two redundant data centers to more than 1,600 customers.

Founded in 1996, Breakwater provides risk management solutions, including managed security, consulting, compliance and regulatory guidance. The company has more than 500 clients and multiple national offices.
